PM4TheWorld - Measuring What Matters: Social Impact & Sustainability Metrics for Modern Organizations

This presentation outlines practical methods for measuring social and environmental impact using established frameworks such as SROI, Theory of Change, and IRIS standards. It highlights how organizations can align their programs with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, integrate ESG criteria into strategy and reporting, and measure carbon emissions through tools like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and carbon accounting software. The session emphasizes unified impact reporting, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement as essential practices for demonstrating value, strengthening credibility, and driving sustainable, mission‑aligned change.
